On Friday, February 9, the Indian cricketer Suryakumar Yadav met with the former Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who had arrived in India for the first time to commence his three-city tour starting with Bengaluru. The 50-year-old landed at the Kempegowda International Airport on Friday morning, where he was greeted by many Red Devils fans in a grand welcome.
